Long day at school. More testing, more dispersing of students, 1 teacher out on tbe team, another didn't come in until around noon. Tried my best to keep the kiddos engaged and on task. Going to my 1st of many sparring classes tonight. Looks like I will either be sparring Wednesday &Thursday or Thursday and Friday.

I've been in martial arts since 2002. I started in tong soo do under Head master M.K. Lee in Pineville, N.C. After I broke my left hand during a colored belt exam, I switched to Taekwondo under Head master William Grady down in Pineville, N.C. I trained at Eagle Taekwondo for 8 years, earning my 3rd Dan. When Covid the dojang did not survive. I have now been training at King Tiger , North Charlotte location, under Grand Master Evins since June of 2023. I am excited to start my Masters journey, but very nervous at the same time. I look forward to meeting the other candidates.
